Central Texas Electric Cooperative shall pay Member for the “kWh Received” (energy received by the Central Texas Electric Cooperative’s Distribution System) at the “Avoided Cost of Generation Rate” (ACGR). The ACGR is determined by the average per kWh cost of wholesale generation costs for electric energy purchased by CTEC from its wholesale electric energy provider(s). CTEC reserves the right to amend the ACGR at any time. The frequency and type of reimbursements and/or credits to Members will be determined by the Cooperative.
